Elder Care – Massage Therapy, Mental Health and Well-being

6/17/2018

3 Comments

 
Most baby-boomers “coming of age” wish to maintain their active lifestyles. However as we age, our bodies change. These changes come in in the form of lost vitality and function of our skin, muscles, bones, and circulation.  

By incorporating massage into a regular healthcare regimen, many older adults find a better quality of life and additional relief from a multitude of health issues.
Picture
​Research conducted by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA):
  • ​A recent national survey showed that 29% of eldercare facilities reported employing an art, massage or music therapist, with 74% of them employing massage therapists.
  • Physicians and other Health-care practitioners surveyed rated massage “best among a variety of forms of alternative medicine”, with 74% indicating they believed massage was “always or usually effective.” 
  • Seniors who asked their doctors about massage, found that almost two-thirds “encouraged or strongly recommended massage.”

​According to Jo Ellen Sefton, Director of the Neuromechanics Research Laboratory at Auburn University, massage has been demonstrated to help treat chronic pain, particularly in joints, such as the shoulder or knee, while also improving stability and posture. Studies suggest that regular massage may produce physiological changes that contribute to improved balance, postural control, and be a way to decrease potential falls in older adults.

Picture
Benefits of massage therapy on mental health and well being:
  • Reduce trait anxiety and depression with a course of care providing benefits similar in magnitude to those of psychotherapy.
  • Increase neurotransmitters associated with lowering anxiety and decrease hormones associated with increasing anxiety.
  • Significantly decrease heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.
  • Reduce depression in individuals with terminal conditions, lessened anxiety in cancer patients, and lower work-related stress for nurses.
  • Improved skincare, which is vital for bedridden patients. Massage not only increases circulation, the application of lotion moisturizes the skin and decreases the chance of pressure sores.

Research has shown that even a brief massage can reduce agitation behavior in older adults living with dementia, such as physical expressions of pacing and wandering. Additionally massage therapy provides clinical benefits to hospice patients, such as decreased pain and improved quality of life. 

Ann Catlin, founder of the Center for Compassionate Touch and an expert in the field of massage therapy in elder care and hospice, indicates there are several benefits massage therapy offers including increased body awareness and alertness, as well as a reduction in the feelings of confusion and anxiety, allowing you to build reassurance, trust, and can calm agitation. “Massage can help ease the social effects of isolation, loneliness and boredom while encouraging feelings of worthiness and well-being.”

Massage has been indicated as a possible alternative to the use of opioids, as an important non-pharmacological therapy for managing pain, including a variety of specific chronic pain issues. As recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and included in guidelines issued by The Joint Commission and the American College of Physicians (ACP). Reference: https://www.amtamassage.org/research/index.html

Choosing an Eldercare Massage Therapist:
Understanding the complexities of physiological changes that occur with aging requires both academic knowledge and technical skills. An understanding that go beyond what is typically taught in massage schools across the country. 

When exploring available providers, a qualified Eldercare Massage Therapist should be able to provide evidence of their academic knowledge and technical skills. Frequently this will come in the form of continuous education hours, specialized certifications or licenses in elder care or nursing.

It’s important to note that massage for the elderly population uses different techniques to avoid harming a more fragile client, both physically and emotionally. Many massage and bodywork techniques typically used on healthy clients, may be too stimulating or painful if performed by a therapist not knowledgeable in elder care. 

Picture
Receiving the sensation of touch is especially important during end of life care. Some massage techniques can be adapted properly by a therapist, to emphasize gentle methods to ameliorate pain for the elderly. For massage with the very ill or hospice patients, frequent yet shorter sessions (15-30 minutes) may be appropriate.

As a component of your customized care, an eldercare massage therapist should be dedicated to enhancing quality of life, as a way to make living more enjoyable. A trained eldercare massage therapists will employ skillful hands-on work, paired with supervision from qualified healthcare professionals, using techniques current with trends on aging. 

Eldercare facilities providing these additional services, emphasize their commitment to wellness and quality of life, by ensuring qualified insured therapists are used. Increasingly, providing massage on site has helped eldercare facilities attract senior and geriatric residents, and their families, seeking the benefits of massage for seniors. 

These benefits are especially vital to seniors who are relatively sedentary, must cope with chronic health problems, and possible emotional losses. For those with Type 2 Diabetes or other threats to the circulatory system, massage can make a major contribution to maintaining health and mobility.

About the Elderly Population in the US:
According to Census Bureau projections, the US elderly population will approximately double between now and the year 2050. Over the next 30 years the elderly, those 65 years of age and over, will reach 83.7 million people or as many as 1 in every 5 Americans. 

The majority of this rise was projected to occur where we find ourselves today, between 2010 and 2030, when the "baby boom" generation enters their elderly years. During this period, the number of elderly will grow by an average of 2.8% annually, or over two times the annual growth of the previous 20 years. Current statistics show that 10,000 people join the ranks of the 65-year-old population every day.

Pedicure Spas: Why Pipeless is Important

3/24/2011

17 Comments

 
Picture
The newest advancements in chairs for pedicures are pipeless. With these chairs, no pipes or pumps are necessary to create the jet flows. Instead, pipeless chairs are equipped with rotating mechanisms that move the water around in the foot basin. Because there are no pipes, there is less chance for bacteria to build up in the system. Pipes supply water to the basin, but it is only fresh water that has not been possibly contaminated with bacteria or other harmful materials.

Cleaning pipeless spa chairs is easy because there are no exit pumps that could contain hazardous materials. Spa chairs with pipes are cleaned thoroughly and periodically according to state regulations so this is a time-consuming and unpleasant task. The new and improved pipeless chairs are becoming the choice of many salon owners because of their comfort, ease of operation and simple maintenance.

Pipeless pedicure spas are clean, quiet and offer high quality hydrotherapy sessions. They give the customer's feet pure enjoyment that can only come from a soothing foot treatment. Pipes, pumps, cleaning rags, special tools, awkward nooks and crannies are not needed with pipeless pedicure spa. Stagnant water that contains harmful and sometimes deadly bacteria is non-existent when a pipeless spa chair is used during a hydrotherapy foot treatment. It is the most sanitary way to give customers the treatment that they deserve and paid for. The chair itself is made for pure relaxation and also have built-in massaging mechanisms that further enhance the customer's day at the spa.

Rejuvene Spa and Massage Education

Marcia Butell - Nationally Certified
Currently 39 States use or recognize the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Body Work (NCBTMB) Certification. However Lawrence, like most other cities in the state of Kansas, do not require a massage therapists to be licensed.

Marcia Butell, The Owner of Rejuvene Salon and Spa, has always promoted massage education within her work. This was highlighted in a article by the Lawrence Journal World newspaper:

"Cities can enact their own laws to regulate massage businesses. In Lawrence, city officials do not require therapists to receive a city license to operate their business. They do require therapists to be certified, but the [city] requirement doesn't set any standards for the number of hours therapists must be trained or in what areas they must receive training.

Most consumers probably don't know that fact, but Marcia Butell, a nationally board-certified massage therapist at Rejuvene Day Spa, said she thinks consumers ought to take the time to ask about their therapist's qualifications"

- Lawrence Journal World
Lack of regulations requires inquiry - Consumers should check qualifications, backgrounds
